Heath
If anything was going to make me feel the slightest bit better this week, it would be getting the spot of the male soloist for Nationals. I'm glad that that moment that happened between Noah and I didn't affect my chances. I shouldn't have been that nervous though. He is one of the most professional people I know.
Doesn't help me feel less like an idiot for getting excited yesterday though. What the fuck was I thinking?! Sure, I have already admitted to fucking myself several times while thinking about Noah, but I never wanted him to find out about my attraction towards him!
He's...well, he's my best-friend. I'm not ashamed to admit that anymore. And I don't want my dumbass to lose him!
At-least we have a one-on-one rehearsal planned this week to work on it, so hopefully I can talk to him then.
I'm just walking through the halls to grab a smoothie, or to have a smoke, haven't decided yet. When someone bumps into me.
"Oh, sorry! I didn't see...oh, hey Heath."
The timid face of Winnie looks at me as I brush myself off after getting back up off the ground. A bit of a pain goes over my knee, but it's not that bad.
"Hey" Is all I say, before I go to continue on to where I was heading.
"Um...how are you?" She suddenly asks. I slow that a small amount, but don't completely stop.
"Like you care." I mumble.
"Huh, what's that supposed to mean?" She sounds both offended, but also completely dumbfounded. Is she really this stupid or...
"Considering the fact we haven't talked to each-other in over a year, and that's because you chose the guy that's been bullying me for years over your best-friend. Well, you should get the picture."
"Okay, yeah. I sort-of dated Ozzy, but that doesn't mean I don't care about you anymore, Heath." She reaches to give my hand a reassuring squeeze, but I pull away from her before she can.
"What do you mean 'dated?' As in past-tense" I can't help but ask though.
"Oh, you didn't hear? He broke up with me. Said it wasn't 'fun' for him anymore. I don't need him though. I'm good. Plus, there are so many other-"
"Yeah, I don't actually care."
Turning on my heel I leave her on her own. So, she broke up, or got dumped I guess, by Oswald. Big deal. Does she thinks that just because they're not in their flimsy relationship anymore that I'll just magically take her back?
No, she didn't even learn her lesson. If Oswald hadn't ditched her himself, then she would've stayed with a person that caused me so much pain for years on end for who knows how long.
I've moved on from her. There are people in my life now that I'm starting to realise do give a rat's-ass about me. And, I know I'm better off with them.
